MEMGen Extends Deadline for MEMS Design Challenge to April 30, 2003

Burbank, CA - April 15, 2003 - MEMGen Corporation has extended the deadline for its '3-D MEMS Design Challenge' to April 30, 2003, in response to contestants' requests.

Since the contest kick-off in January, the company has received more than 120 applications. Design areas for the micro-devices include micro-metal parts, biomedical tools, sensors, optical and RF devices.

The contest is made possible by MEMGen's proprietary EFAB(tm) micro-manufacturing technology, which allows micro-devices to be designed with commonly available 3-D CAD software tools and fabricated in a matter of a few weeks using the company's EFAB process.

WHAT: MEMGen's '3-D MEMS Design Challenge' The top three contest winners will receive prototypes of their designs, cash prizes of $10,000, $5,000 and $2,500, and the first place winner will receive a SolidWorks( Office 2003 3-D CAD package.

Submissions will be judged by a panel comprised of independent industry experts, including Al Pisano, Ph.D. of UC Berkeley, Elliott Brown, Ph.D. of UCLA and Marlene Bourne, senior analyst at In-Stat/MDR. Selection will be based on design novelty, creative use of 3-D and commercial utility.

WHO: The competition is open to all individuals who have commercial or research interest in micro-device design, manufacturing or use, including electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, design contractors, university faculty members and students. There is no limit to the number of entries per person or organization.

WHEN: Entries must be submitted to MEMGen by April 30, 2003, and the winners will be announced on May 15, 2003.
